Cracked 135 wheel
Looking around for an E86, and seen what looks like a nice car, but looking at the MOT history, it appears its had cracks welded on both rear wheels. I was wondering if this is a problem on these? Are they an expensive wheel the replace if needed?

Are 135 also known as MV2 style?
Don't think they are 'renowned' for cracking unlike some but cracking wheels seems to be part of modern BMW ownership at some point. Some are luckier than others!
They are a very common style, so there are always loads of used on eBay.
Have you asked the seller if they have been repaired, or replaced?

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Just heard back, and the wheels have been replaced, so it's not an issue any more.
Thanks very much.

It's good to know the cracked wheels got replaced.
But it's probably worth checking them from time to time as my nephew had a set on his E46 Sport, so not on run-flats, but he had to get a crack welded on one of his rear wheels.

Coupes because stunning!
